"PM Modi always says that Bihar should develop...": Tripura CM backs NDA in Bihar elections

Narkatiaganj (Bihar) [India], October 18 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that his thoughts signify the development of Bihar along with the country.
Hailing the importance of Champaran in Bihar elections, Saha stated that it is a matter of pride for him to visit the region and mentioned that the NDA would win all nine seats in the area.
"PM Modi always says that Bihar should develop, then the country will develop too. Just like development in the northeast became possible due to him...We know the condition of Bihar, we know what all happened in Lalu ji's tenure...Elections are about to take place here. Coming to a place like Champaran is a matter of pride for me. This is really important...This time, we will win all 9 seats here (in Champaran)," Manik Saha told reporters.
Earlier, Union Minister Giriraj Singh asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is poised to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, while taking a sharp dig at the opposition bloc Mahagathbandhan, saying it is in a fragmented state -- "dil ke tukde hazaar huye, koi yahan gire, koi wahan gire."

Singh also noted that there is no such thing as 'Mahagathbandhan' in Bihar, asserting the public's disinterest in RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
"In 2010, JD(U) and BJP made a record together when they won 206 seats. This time, we will go higher than that. We have 'neta' (leader), 'netritva' (leadership) and program. There is no such thing as 'mahagathbandhan', there is no trust in Tejashwi Yadav. They are not ready to consider each other leaders. They neither have 'neta' nor 'netritva'," Giriraj Singh told ANI.
Polling for the Bihar elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14. (ANI)
